Several items of interest to monitor. A weak system may spread a little light snow into our southern counties on Monday night. A bigger system is possible around Wednesday night into Thursday. Low confidence on the mid-week system.

Lot of rain fell over our region over the last 2-3 days. Anywhere from 2"-6" was reported across the region. There were some flooding problems and at least one tornado in west Kentucky. You can read more about the tornado on this link - Tornado EF 2 Strikes Western Kentucky

Colder weather has arrived and it may stick around for a few weeks. Not saying it will be cold all of the time. We may see a few shots of warmer air as the boundary between the cold and warm remains near our region.

Monday morning will bring some slick spots on area roadways. Black ice is what we call this. Moisture that is left over from the recent rains or wintry mix can refreeze at night. Early morning commuters should use caution and care.

As far as snow or precipitation goes - we will have a weak system on Monday night that might produce some light snow or snow showers. The area of concern would probably be over Kentucky and Tennessee. Can't rule out light accumulation.

A big system is forecast to move into the Mississippi Valley on Wednesday night and Thursday. This one will be tricky to forecast. Some model data supports a deeper and more organized precipitation shield that moves into Missouri and Arkansas - spreading eastward. This would be a mixture of wintry precipitation. Still a bit early to make a forecast on this one. Stay tuned.

Light wintry mix is possible Wednesday night over portions of western KY and western TN - light snow and sleet would be the most likely form of precipitation. Monitor forecasts. Not expecting a major event.

I am watching a storm system for Wednesday night through Thursday night. Low confidence on this event.

If you are a weather enthusiast then I recommend listening to WeatherBrains each week! For a more in-depth look at what is happening in meteorology.

Now is a GREAT time to buy a NOAA All Hazards Weather Radio. Better to have one before storms strike than to be without one during an event. I recommend the Midland Model 300 NOAA All Hazards Weather Radio - that is what I use here at my house!
